Dong won all four of his matches handily at the National Duals and is 6-0 this season and was named ACC Wrestler of the Week.

Carter, from nearby Christiansburg, went 2-2 last weekend. He lost to the Nos. 1 and 3 wrestlers in the country, but scored a 12-3 major decision against ninth-ranked Scotti Sentes of Central Michigan.

Virginia also opens ACC competition this weekend, with a Saturday home match against N.C. State (1 p.m.) at Memorial Gym. The Cavaliers also wrestle Penn and VMI at home on Sunday.

The Cavaliers (11-4) placed sixth at last week's Virginia Duals in Hampton, where senior 174-pounder Chris Henrich set the school record for career wins.

Henrich is 19-1 this season, 120-17 for his career. The Cavaliers are ranked 34th in the latest InterMat poll, but they're missing three nationally-ranked wrestlers — Nick Nelson (141), Jedd Moore (165) and Mike Salopek (197).

U.Va. coach Steve Garland expects to have all three back by the end of the regular season.
